911sc max ramp inclination angle

Hi,

My garage is underground, accessible by a considerably inclined ramp.

I wonder what is the maximum tilt angle a stock 911sc can handle without damaging the bumpers or the bottom of the vehicle.

I could measure if I had access to one.
Still looking for it.

Got pix of your ramp? Kinda depends on a lot of things. Like whether your car is lowered. Or, whether there may be room to kind of feather (disclaimer: not an architectural or engineering term) the incline.

if it's wide enough, going up and down the ramp at an angle helps, too.

What's your ride height? US or Euro spec? Front spoiler? I have my car at Euro spec and I have trouble with it scraping the bottom in some situations.

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy car parts which is kind of the same thing.

Measure the lowest point front or back to the ground and then from the ground where the lowest point is to the tires and you will have rise over run. Then measure the point on the driveway that is the same height and hope it is shorter.
